Genesis 46:32-34

Common English Bible

³² The men are shepherds, because they own livestock. They’ve brought with them their flocks and herds and everything they own.’ ³³ When Pharaoh summons you and says, ‘What do you do?’ ³⁴ say, ‘Your servants have owned livestock since we were young, both we and our ancestors,’ so that you will be able to settle in the land of Goshen, since Egyptians think all shepherds are beneath their dignity.”
